Since we began in 2005 we have steadily built up a national and international reputation as an agency, which delivers a groundbreaking and exciting programme about architecture and the built environment. Our most high profile project Open House Dublin has achieved a staggering attendance figure of 23,000 over one weekend (in 2011), and our schools initiative A Space for Learning saw 120 architects deliver workshops with 1500 transition year students. We have commissioned Ireland’s representation at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2006, 2008 and 2010.
We do all of this because we believe that the quality of buildings and public spaces depends on the rigorous demands of a well-informed and confident public, and that the talents of the creative profession must be recognised, celebrated and promoted.

If, for career purposes, you are interested in gaining experience of working in a cultural institution, from time to time the IAF has a limited number of various internship positions available.
An interest in and understanding of architecture would be an advantage, and you will have to show yourself capable of working on a variety of administrative tasks both on your own initiative and as part of a team.
